I was to install an electric trunk release but just noticed the flat rod from the lock cylinder to the mechanism can't be turned if there is no key in. And there is no other way to release the mechanism so I'm in a dead end with this...
I got a 1985 dodge ("diplomat I think) electric trunk piece and just bolted it on the same location as my 66 was. ran a wire to the power with a switch and was done! also used original power window motors and door lock poppers from a dodge van. next I'll get the cheapy door lock/electric window kit for the remote function and graft it into the wiring of the original motors and popers
